In the village, Old Ma retracted his fist and asked Qin Mu, ”Did you understand what you saw?”
”I understood!”
Qin Mu pondered over it, ”Every kind of dragon force represents a different type of strength. By arranging the dragon forces in a different sequence, the force of the fist would be different. With a hundred different green dragons in the force of the fist, once the sequence is messed up, Tempest Of The Nine Dragons would have countless of variations! Once someone else received my first punch, they definitely can’t use the same method to receive my second punch! Even if I unleash a hundred or a thousand punches, the strength in each and every punch would never be the same!”
Old Ma revealed a rare smile, ”Previously, your Overlord Body didn’t have any attributes thus you couldn’t cultivate Rulai’s Mahayana Sutra. Furthermore, I had promised Great Thunderclap Monastery to not impart out Rulai’s Mahayana Sutra. Now that your Overlord Body has the attribute of the Green Dragon, I’ll still not impart it to you. However, if you are able to completely comprehend the truth of the fists, it doesn’t matter if you learn Rulai’s Mahayana Sutra or not. You have already obtained the dragon’s grace, form, might, aura and spirit so even if you had never seen the Hundred Dragons Portraits, you can still figure out the marvel of the Hundred Dragons Portraits. With your Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique, the power of your Thunderclap Eight Strikes will be no inferior to Rulai’s Mahayana Sutra!”
Qin Mu’s spirit pumped up. Old Ma was usually cold-hearted and rarely praised others, therefore, he was very happy to receive Old Ma’s praise. In addition, Old Ma’s words gave him inspiration and inspired more ideas in him. If dragon force was the main point in Tempest Of The Nine Dragons, then what about the first form, Spring Thunder On The Lonely East Sea?
Could he grasp the essence of this form by observing the rise and fall of the large river surging into the sea and listening to the rumble of spring thunder?
And was Thunder Fingers Of The Pipa Player related to music temperament?
There’s also Kuafa Chasing The Sun and Sunshine Refining Yang Soul In The Sky. They must have their own methods of comprehension!
The more he thought, the more he became excited and couldn’t wait to leave the village immediately to roam the world, to observe the wonders of the world and view the mysterious principles of nature!
”Remember to wake up early tomorrow and go to the neighboring village to pay your respects.” Granny Si beamed.
Qin Mu was puzzled, ”Granny, the people in the neighboring village are from Heavenly Devil Cult. Why do they call you mistress? Why do they want to make you cult master? Why are they going to kill us if you don’t listen to them?”
Granny Si caressed his head and smiled, ”You’ll know in the future.”
Early next morning, after Qin Mu had breakfast and washed up, he went to pick up another egg only to meet the fury of the hen dragon which fought equally with Qin Mu. Flapping its wings up and down, it used its sword-like feathers to cut down the egg thief while releasing a fire breath. With the green dragon coiling around his body, Qin Mu executed Thunder Fingers Of The Pipa Player to block the sword feathers.
”Mu’er, stop fighting with it and go pay your respects in the village next door.” Granny Si said as she walked over and chased away the hen dragon.
Qin Mu immediately followed her. The hen dragon which was left behind came chasing after Qin Mu again but it was scared away by Granny Si’s ominous glare.
Granny Si brought him to the village next door and the Elder of Discipline came to welcome them. As he was measuring Qin Mu, he told Granny Si, ”Cult Mistress, everything is prepared properly. Young Master is just required to walk through all three hundred and sixty rooms once and that’s all.”
Granny Si blinked her eyes in disbelief, ”To pass all three hundred and sixty rooms in a single try? Isn’t that asking too much?”
Elder of Discipline smiled, ”If he can’t pass all three hundred and sixty rooms, I would have to ask Cult Mistress to come back with us.”
Granny gritted her teeth and asked, ”Can he rest?”
”Feel free to rest. There are food and drinks in the room, as well as beds, medicine, spirit pills and everything that he needs.”
Granny Si took a look at Qin Mu and gritted her teeth again, ”Mu’er, go through all three hundred and sixty rooms to pay them a visit. Remember to call them senior brothers and senior sisters. There’s no need to call them seniors.”
Qin Mu nodded as he walked towards the first house and smiled, ”Three hundred and sixty rooms, I wonder how long will it take for me to visit them all. Granny, I’ll be going in.”
Granny Si looked at his back and suddenly asked, ”Mu’er, do you know what will you face after you go in?”
Qin Mu turned back and smiled, ”I know. I won’t let them take granny away.”
Granny felt a warmth in her heart as she turned back to leave. When she had picked up this child from the river back then, she had never expected the day would come when the baby back then would help her share her burden.”
Qin Mu walked into the first level of the first house and saw the room was pretty wide. Inside there was a yellow-faced man. His face was so yellow that it looked like he had just eaten a gallbladder. On his chin was a comb of mountain goat beard and on his hand was an abacus, making him look like a bookkeeper doing accounting.
”Senior brother.”
Qin Mu stood still and first paid his respects before removing all his weapons from his back and placed them at the door, ”Senior brother please.”
The bookkeeper looked at the eleven to twelve years old boy in astonishment and asked engrossingly, ”You know what you’re here for? Could it be that Cult Mistress had told you?”
Qin Mu stretched his body and his vital qi surged forward as he smiled, ”There’s no need for granny to say it clearly as I knew it naturally!”
As power burst forth beneath his feet, he reached face to face with the bookkeeper in just a step. With the rumbling of thunder from his palm, the youth’s vital qi was unusually intense like fire!
”Don’t I just have to fight my way through from the first room to the three hundred and sixtieth room?”
The bookkeeper immediately raised his hand to block and felt a giant force bashing him, causing him to uncontrollably fly back and crash into the wooden wall behind him, falling into the courtyard. He stabilized himself after sliding dozens of yards.
